Previously, migrating automations between environments required manual workflow recreation, which was time-consuming. The new export and import features package workflow metadata and configuration into encrypted links secured by AWS KMS, valid for 12 hours and reusable.
This capability accelerates promotion of tested automations from development to production, supports geographic deployment, and facilitates workflow sharing. However, dependencies like connectors and credentials must be manually configured post-migration. The feature is available in all AWS Regions supporting Quick Automate.
